In the last few weeks I was doing some client-side development in TypeScript. It is amazing tool, that increased my productivity in client-side development dramatically.

To streamline the integration between TypeScript and C# code on the server I wrote a simple utility that generates TypeScript interfaces from our POCO classes. It help us a lot in keeping our client-side code in sync with the server side-code - when a server-side class changes, TypeScript interface is automatically updated and if the TypeScript code isn't compatible with the updated interface, TypeScript compilation fails with nice, descriptive message - a huge difference form previous experience with pure JavaScript.

I think this utility might be useful for other developers, so I made it available under MIT license. It's called TypeLITE.
